# Simple Bridging Guide on Haven1 network

We will use a particular example to make this easy to follow along. This example is about bridging Wrapped H1 from Haven1 to Ethereum Network

#### 🛠 Before You Start

1. **Make sure you have MetaMask installed** and are connected to the Haven1 Mainnet. You can add Metamask to your browser by Clicking Add to Metamask by going [here](https://chainlist.org/chain/8811) ![](https://3309393825-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZQs8AgD1Q94eXLnuVHjz%2Fuploads%2FVXassHJ3kNVs3jTbwxHv%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=0b9f67b2-b28b-4306-ac56-da17a449c7ce)
2. **Check your wH1 balance** in your Haven1 wallet.
3. **(Optional)** To see your wrapped H1 balance in MetaMask:
   * Go to the Haven1 Block Explorer ([Here](https://explorer.haven1.org/token/0xB041be50694f3018912c18c710e7BBB931002598)).
   * Find the wrapped H1 contract.
   * Click the MetaMask icon(fox icon) to auto-add the token to your wallet ![](https://3309393825-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZQs8AgD1Q94eXLnuVHjz%2Fuploads%2FGb9KsvJACAGukk3tD32f%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=7ad7cd8f-cdf1-40b9-b4ce-c3c1003ad98f)

2. **Select "From" Network**

* Choose **Haven1 Mainnet**.
* **Choose Token to Bridge.** Select **wrapped H1 (wH1)** from the token list.
* **Enter Amount to Bridge**
  * You can type a specific amount or click **Max** to bridge your entire wH1 balance.
* **Select "To" Network**
  * Choose **Ethereum**
* Under Ethereum, you’ll see only one token option: **H1**. That’s what you’ll receive on the other side. Select that token
* Verify everything.  Click Confirm
  * Note that you pay a small fee of 10bps while withdrawing assets
* **Approve Spending (if prompted)**
  * If this is your first time bridging wH1, MetaMask will prompt you to **approve** the bridge contract to spend your tokens.
  * Confirm the approval in MetaMask.
* **Confirm the Bridge Transaction**
  * Once approved, MetaMask will pop up again asking you to **confirm the actual bridge** transaction.
  * Approve and submit.

***

#### ⏳ What Happens Next?

* Your withdrawal is now **in progress**.
* wH1 will disappear from your Haven1 wallet.
* You can **track the status** of your bridge-out at: <https://portal.haven1.org/bridge/history>
* In normal conditions, bridging completes within **\~10 minutes**. Delays may occur if the network is congested.

#### 🪙 Viewing H1 on Ethereum

Once the bridge is complete:

1. **Open MetaMask** and switch to the **Ethereum Mainnet**. You can click this area to switch networks ![](https://3309393825-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZQs8AgD1Q94eXLnuVHjz%2Fuploads%2FTr0iAdC5rJ4hpwKIWlVT%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=9a3f7256-8ab0-4f45-9304-9f5ca8658c3a)
2. Click on this click area. Choose. **“Import Tokens”** > **“Custom Token”**. ![](https://3309393825-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZQs8AgD1Q94eXLnuVHjz%2Fuploads%2FzehD5Z7CsgZqoJyGTpzL%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=13b30b59-c19d-48c6-a811-ef210d7e55d0)
3. Paste the **Ethereum H1 contract address** 0x9e3b5582b22e3835896368017baff6d942a41cd9 (<https://etherscan.io/token/0x9e3b5582b22e3835896368017baff6d942a41cd9>).
4. Metamask will fetch rest of the details such as Token name automatically ![](https://3309393825-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZQs8AgD1Q94eXLnuVHjz%2Fuploads%2FjGIBWmG91z31Ls0M3JxC%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=6d79d8a0-9861-479b-ae76-d0334947a2ba)
5. Click **Next** and **Import**.

You’ll now see your H1 balance on Ethereum after the bridge transaction is complete
